Just something that's for displaying 240x320 images on an
ILI9341-based LCD display (like the Jaycar XC4630), connected to a
Wifi/ESP8266-capable Arduino Uno (like the Jaycar XC4411).

There's also a Python script for sending images over a wireless
Internet network. An image is converted into RLE information with a
simple ASCII format (as was appropriate for an earlier project, and
still is good for dealing with the ESP8266). What order those packets
is sent-- the brighter parts first/the center-of-screen first, etc--
is the fun part to play around with.

A future version of this project used nRF24L01 modules, where dropped
packets and etc. add to the challenge. You all might see that one day..

Make sure the UART switches on the WifiUno are as they should be.

arduino-builder is used for development.

The LCD display should fill with red at initalization, turning to
blue when the wireless network is connected too.
